WELCOME Welcome to this online community consultation.

This consultation has been prepared to inform and seek feedback from the local community concerning a proposed residential development at lands to the rear of 2 & 4 Aghacommon Heights Kilvergan Road, Craigavon.

We warmly invite you to take time to absorb the work the applicant and their professional design and technical team have prepared to date to support the preparation of a forthcoming planning application. A statutory part of the pre-application process is to engage meaningfully with the local community to share our vision for the identified site and to invite your feedback.

Given the unprecedented impact of COVID-19 on the potential to carry out this type of consultation as an in-person event, it is now being carried out as an online event.

The feedback received will then be reflected upon and responded to in refining the detailed design as part of a formal planning application to Armagh, Banbridge and Craigavon Borough Council.

The wider red line plan (inset) as shown is required to be this large in order to accommodate all potential road/drainage infrastructure as part of the development proposals. However, the red line plan shown on the aerial photo identifies the location of the actual proposed housing scheme along with the internal road provision.

INTRODUCTION In light of the current COVID-19 lockdown and social distancing restrictions, temporary preapplication community consultation regulations were introduced in May 2020, which removed the legislative requirement for a public event.

Alternative consultation methods, such as online magazines, were encouraged. Therefore, Clyde Shanks Ltd are using online tools to assist you to review, consider and provide feedback on these development proposals.

Your feedback on the proposals is very much welcomed and all matters raised will be taken into consideration and reflected upon in finalising the proposals that will be contained in the formal application submission.

We will prepare a report, known as the PreApplication Community Consultation report (PACC report), summarising all of the feedback and how the design team has responded to this.

This PACC report will be submitted to Armagh, Banbridge and Craigavon Borough Council as part of the planning application package.

EXISTING SITE AND SURROUNDING CONTEXT THE SITE The Site extends to an area of approximately 2.7 ha, is mostly rectangular in shape and is located entirely within the administrative boundary of Armagh, Banbridge and Craigavon Borough Council, within the Aghacommon Ward.

The site is located off the northern side of the Kilvergan Road, within and on the western edge of the village. The site currently has only one vehicular access on the Kilvergan Road.

Entrance to the site

North east boundary treatment

In terms of topography, the site slopes downwards from the eastern boundary adjacent to the Kilvergan Road to the west, while the site also slopes downwards from the north to the middle of the site.

The site is largely undeveloped and covered in grass, with rows of hedges forming the site boundaries.

Views west within site

There is an existing farm complex positioned to the south west of the application site, while existing and previously approved housing is positioned to the east of the site to the rear of Aghacommon Heights. Boundary hedges exist around the periphery of the site, while there are long views to the north west over the countryside.

EXISTING SITE AND SURROUNDING CONTEXT SURROUNDINGS The surrounding area to the north, east and south is predominantly residential in nature with mostly detached dwellings. To the west the lands are used for commercial agricultural activities (working farm) with agricultural fields.

Further to the north west of the site is the M1. The M1 runs roughly north east – south west running along the edge of Aghacommon village.

The centre of the village is located approximately 200 metres to the east of the site and includes a number of small shops, a restaurant, a public house, a school and church.

To the east of the site is the existing housing scheme of Clanbrassil Grove that are all detached bungalows. In addition, to the north east of the site is the Kilvergan Heights development that are all two storey terraced units.

LOCAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN, PLANNING POLICY CONTEXT AND HISTORY

•

the proposal respects the opportunities and constraints of the specific site and its surroundings and, where appropriate, considers the potential for the creation of a new sense of place through sensitive design and planting;

•

there is no significant detrimental affect on amenities;

•

there is no significant conflict with conservation interests;

•

there are satisfactory arrangements for access, parking and effluent disposal;

•

any additional infrastructure necessary to accommodate the proposal is provided by the developer; and

LOCAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN

•

Craigavon Area Plan 2010 (CAP) The CAP remains the adopted Local Development Plan (LDP) for the application site. Within the CAP the Site is unzoned ‘whiteland’ within the settlement limit. It is identified that Aghacommon within the CAP is defined as a village with a settlement boundary. Policy Sett 1 relating to settlement limits advises that “Favourable consideration will be given to development proposals within settlement limits…provided the following the following criteria are met:

the proposal is in accordance with prevailing regional planning policy and the policies, requirements and guidance contained in the Plan.

As such housing is acceptable in principle on the site, subject to complying with the above CAP criteria, all regional planning policy and addressing any site specific environmental constraints.

All of these matters, as they relate to the Site, will be addressed within the proposed planning application submission.

Section 45 (1) of the Planning Act (Northern Ireland) 2011 requires that all planning applications have regard to the local development plan, so far as material to the application, and all other material considerations.

Section 6(4) states that in making any determination where regard is to be had to the local development plan, the determination must be made in accordance with the plan unless material considerations indicate otherwise. This is known as the Plan-led system.

•

the proposal is sensitive to the size and character of the settlement in terms of scale, form, design and use of materials;

SUMMER PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT SUNSET PROPOSED DESIGN

The above principles were the starting point for the development of the initial design, along with the results of site surveys undertaken by the appointed environmental consultants.

denotes communal open space

denotes rear gardens (private amenity space)

denotes front gardens

• Proposed units backing on to the existing dwellings and dwellings with extant planning permission. The change in levels and separation distances will ensure no significant impact on their amenity;

PLOT 7

WINTER SUNSET

PLOT 6

• Main access from Kilvergan Road towards southern end of roadside boundary. A section of Kilvergan Road to be widened for highway safety reasons along with inclusion of a pedestrian footpath. This will allow safe permeability for residents and the wider community to the existing Tannaghmore Gardens public park; and • public open space being provided within the site.

The developable area of the Site is approximately 2.7ha, giving a density of 19 dwellings per hectare.

This density is well below the gross average density relating to other nearby residential areas.

ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

LANDSCAPING

A detailed landscaping plan and report will be prepared by a landscape architect. This will include a new planting schedule for the entire proposal.

ROADS

A transport consultant has been appointed to advise on access and traffic matters.

The site and the Kilvergan Road along the front of the site have been accurately surveyed to assist in the design of the proposed access, including road widening and provision of a public footpath.

An initial Transport Assessment Form (TAF) has been completed and confirms that there will be no increased level of parking in the surrounding area due to adequate parking being provided within the development.

NOISE

A Noise Impact Assessment has been carried out to ensure there is not an excessive noise burden upon the future occupiers. The Noise Impact Assessment confirms the noise impact on the proposal would not be excessive.

ECOLOGY

A biodiversity checklist has been undertaken across the site by a qualified ecologist. This has not identified any significant ecological constraints to the development.

ARCHAEOLOGY

An Archaeological Assessment has been completed for the site. A full desktop survey and site inspection were undertaken for the area of the proposed development.

The desk top survey has identified no known archaeological sites within the development area or the wider search radius.

There is the potential for previously unrecorded, sub-surface archaeological to survive here. Understanding what these are will require the implementation of an archaeological condition on any future planning permission granted for the site.

DRAINAGE AND FLOODING

An initial assessment will be undertaken regarding drainage for the proposed development and this site will also be reviewed in relation in relation to flood protection standards to ensure compliance with planning policy making sure that the effects of flooding are minimised and managed concerning risk to people, property and the environment.

FURTHER DETAIL

Detailed reports setting out the findings of the appointed consultants, their assessment of the proposed development and any proposed mitigation measures will accompany the planning application.
